“In continuation of my letter dated 10th August to Your Excellency, I have been instructed by the Chairman of the Committee to say that the Executive Committee has adopted the further recommendations, first, that: ‘The headquarters of the Intergovernmental Committee should continue to be in London’. Second, that: ‘In view of the agreement of the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States of America jointly to underwrite the expenditure of the Committee other than administrative expenses, it be agreed that all projects and the financing thereof be considered individually, and that the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States of America be consulted before a project is sanctioned or expenditure incurred thereon.’ I am accordingly to request that Your Excellency will kindly communicate these recommendations to Your Excellency’s Government for favourable consideration.”
